Hi forum,
Finale has this thing that the linked parts from grand staff instruments (Piano, Harp, etc.) are generated from the group, and not the individual staffs.
Is there a way I can do this as manually as well, to create a linked part by group and not by instrument?

Not quite sure what you want. For example, do you want a group in the linked part with, say, 2 other instruments? If so, just put those into the linked part, and then group them in the part.
Maybe we need more clarification and details.

Hi Zuill,
Yes, that looks pretty much like what I want to, thanks.
To think this further: is there a way to skip the 'create group in part'-step and do something like: select the group in score and create a part directly from this group?

I am not sure what you mean by your words “select … in score”.
Do you mean “from the Selection Tool, view in Page View, and select”?
Anyway, you can make a group appear in Manage Parts, in the rightmost column “Available Instruments”.
The trick is that you must delete the Full Staff Name from the staves in the group.
When the staves do not have a Full Name, the group will appear in Manage Parts.
You can add the Full Name back with a staff style - a staff style will not affect Manage Parts.

That's precisely what I'm looking for, thank you Peter.Peter Thomsen wrote: ↑Tue Oct 08, 2019 5:34 pmAnyway, you can make a group appear in Manage Parts, in the rightmost column “Available Instruments”.
